We develop a neutral vortex fluid theory on closed surfaces with zero genus. The theory describes collective dynamics of many well-separated quantum vortices in a superfluid confined on a closed surface. Comparing to the case on a plane,…
Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold, D a Dirac-type operator on M whose Weitzenbock curvature is uniformly positive on the complement of a subset Z of M. We show that the coarse index of D is localized to the K-theory of the coarse…
We derive a fully quantum-mechanical equation of motion for a vortex in a 2-dimensional Bose superfluid, in the temperature regime where the normal fluid density $\rho_n(T)$ is small. The coupling between the vortex "zero mode" and the…
We carry out a comparative study of electronic properties of 2D electron gas (2DEG) in a magnetic field of an infinitesimally thin solenoid with relativistic dispersion as in graphene and quadratic dispersion as in semiconducting…
We introduce bivariant K-theory for nonarchimedean bornological algebras over a complete discrete valuation ring $V$. This is the universal target for dagger homotopy invariant, matricially stable and excisive functors, similar to bivariant…
The entropy of a monomer-dimer system on an infinite bipartite lattice can be written as a mean-field part plus a series expansion in the dimer density. In a previous paper it has been conjectured that all coefficients of this series are…
We show that the vortex moduli space in non-abelian supersymmetric N=(2,2) gauge theories on the two dimensional plane with adjoint and anti-fundamental matter can be described as an holomorphic submanifold of the instanton moduli space in…
We discuss aspects of generic 2-dimensional dilaton gravity theories. The 2-dim geometry is in general conformal to $AdS_2$ and has IR curvature singularities at zero temperature: this can be regulated by a black hole. The on-shell action…
Many quantum condensed matter systems are strongly correlated and strongly interacting fermionic systems, which cannot be treated perturbatively. However, topology allows us to determine generic features of their fermionic spectrum, which…
This is a contribution to the number theory of the dimer problem. The number of dimer coverings (i.e., perfect matchings) of a square lattice graph is discussed modulo powers of 2.
We characterise the particlelike kinematics of charge-carrying topological defects in nematic media via a geometric field theory. This differs from the theory of electromagnetism, with which it is often compared, due to the absence of…
We study a model of colored multiwebs, which generalizes the dimer model to allow each vertex to be adjacent to \(n_v\) edges. These objects can be formulated as a random tiling of a graph with partial dimer covers. We examine the case of a…
In this article, we propose a new numerical model for computation of the transport of electrons in a graphene device. The underlying quantum model for graphene is a massless Dirac equation, whose eigenvalues display a conical singularity…
Let $A$ be a nondegenerate dimer (or ghor) algebra on a torus, and let $Z$ be its center. Using cyclic contractions, we show the following are equivalent: $A$ is noetherian; $Z$ is noetherian; $A$ is a noncommutative crepant resolution;…
We prove the existence of a limit shape for the dimer model on planar periodic bipartite graphs with an arbitrary fundamental domain and arbitrary periodic weights. This proof is based on a variational principle that uses the locality of…
We set up general equations of motion for point vortex systems on closed Riemannian surfaces, allowing for the case that the sum of vorticities is not zero and there hence must be counter-vorticity present. The dynamics of global…
The main result of this paper is a Pfaffian formula for the partition function of the dimer model on a graph G embedded in a closed, possibly non-orientable surface S. This formula is suitable for computational purposes, and it is obtained…
On a finite weighted graph, the dimer model is a probability measure on its dimer covers, that assigns to any cover a probability proportional to the product of the weights of its edges. For planar bipartite graphs, dimer correlations are…
Amoebas are projections of complex algebraic varieties in the algebraic torus under a Log-absolute value map, which have connections to various mathematical subjects. While amoebas of hypersurfaces have been intensively studied in recent…
We prove closing lemmas for automorphisms of a Stein manifold with the density property and for endomorphisms of an Oka-Stein manifold. In the former case we need to impose a new tameness condition. It follows that hyperbolic periodic…
